Miter Gauge
NOTE: A large auxiliary miter gauge face may be used.
TO ATTACH THE MITER GAUGE
The DW745 includes a miter gauge
for crosscutting materials. The miter
gauge can be used by insertion into
one of the two miter gauge slots (JJ)
in the table top (Fig. 13).
NOTE: See crosscutting and bevel
crosscutting instructions before per-
forming these operations on the table
saw.
Bench Mounting
NOTE: A portable table saw stand is
designed for use with this saw and is
available at a local D WALT dealer or
E
service center at extra cost.
TO BENCH MOUNT SAW
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and discon-
nect machine from power source before attempting to move it, change accessories
or make any adjustments. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure table saw is firmly mounted
before use.
The table saw must be mounted firmly. Four mounting holes (N) are provided in the metal
frame for mounting. We strongly recommend that these holes be used to anchor the table
saw to your workbench or other rigid, stationary work support.
CAUTION: Ensure that the surface is stable enough that large pieces of material will not
cause it to tip over during use.
1. Center the saw on the desired, stable work surface.
2. Drive four 3-1/2" (88.9 mm) long screws through the holes in the metal frame. Make
sure the screws extend through the frame and securely attach to the supporting work
surface.
If marring the supporting work surface is a concern, the DW745 can be mounted to scrap
wood which can then be clamped onto the desired work surface.
1. Cut a piece of 3/4" (19 mm) plywood to fit beneath the footprint of the saw.
2. Screw the saw to the plywood and clamp the overhang of the plywood to the work
surface. If the screws protrude through the plywood base, set it on two scrap pieces of
material of equal thickness and attach them to the edges of the plywood to hold the saw
further off of the work surface and prevent the screws from marring the surface.
Connecting Saw to Power Source
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, before connecting saw to power source, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position.
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. AC Only means that your
saw will operate on alternating current only. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will
cause a loss of power and overheating. All D
not operate, check the power supply.
On-Off Switch
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, be sure switch is in the OFF position before
plugging machine in.

E
Lift the ON/OFF switch (K) paddle up to turn your saw ON and push it down to turn your
saw OFF.
A hole (KK) is provided in the switch for insertion of a
padlock with a removable shank to lock the saw off
(Fig. 14).
NOTE: A conventional padlock will not fit.
Rip Fence Operation
RAIL LOCK LEVER (FIG. 4)
The rail lock lever (W) locks the fence in place pre-
venting movement during cutting. To lock the rail
lever, push it down and toward the rear of the saw. To
unlock, pull it up and toward the front of the saw.
NOTE: When ripping, always lock the rail lock lever.
WORK SUPPORT EXTENSION
Your table saw is equipped with a work support extension to support work that extends
beyond the saw table. To use the work support extension, rotate it as shown in Figure 15.
When not in use, the work support extension retracts, as shown in Figure 16.
NOTE: Retract the work support extension whenever working over the table.
FIG. 15
FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB (FIG. 17)
The fine adjustment knob (H) allows smaller
adjustments when setting the fence. Before
adjusting, be sure the rail lock lever is in its
up or unlocked, position.
RIP SCALE POINTER
The rip scale pointer will need to be adjusted
for proper performance of the rip fence if the
user switches between thick and thin kerf
blades. Refer to Rip Scale Adjustment under
Adjustments for alignment instructions.
Adjustments
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
turn unit off and disconnect machine from
power source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or changing
set-ups or when making repairs. An acciden-
tal start-up can cause injury.
